Dear English friends, all of you have the great chance, on this tuesday evening, to express your solidarity with the French people by singing our Marseillaise in the wake of the terror attacks in Paris. Our national anthem was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle after France declaration war against Austria. The Marseillaise has been sung in Paris by volunteers from Marseille marching on the capital. It's a revolutionary song, a bit violent but, these days, i'm sure you will not take offense.

This video will teach you how to pronouce some tricky words of our anthem :

The lyrics (with traduction) of the short version of Marseillaise for this evening :

Allons enfants de la Patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé!Arise, children of the Fatherland, the day of glory has arrived!
